250 yrds thrown in first start, running for your life all night, with recievers dropping balls all night. in a playoff game.... um...... no portal needed at the moment. He is our guy 4sure

[@chann9k]

we do need the portal but for receivers not qbs

[@BruceWayne-vs4mz]

Really? Gunner had no blocking the entire game. He still threw for 250 yards. Gunner threw absolute dimes the whole game. Receivers dropping balls isn’t on him. His O line knew ND would be blitzing and should have blocked with all they had. Gunner is HIM for 2025.

[@sixroads444]

Id take a new oc before qb

[@Jtothemfingd]

The answer is no. He didn't choke. He did as well as you could hope under the circumstances.

[@jayteerogers2829]

Will be 3rd string quarter back. Lots of 5 stars better

[@Jtothemfingd]

@jayteerogers2829 what 5 stars do you speak of? Remember, Jacob Eason was a 5 star. Didn't do shitaki. Only QB's on staff that could challenge him is Ryan Puglisi.

[@crunchbite5315]

Go to the portal?? Hell no, Stockton proved himself in the sec championship. He won that game for us when Beck couldn’t get anything going. I think he did great last night considering he’s played 1 half all season. There are other factors for Georgias loss last night. Gunner is not the problem

[@BPierce777]

Haha!! He turned the ball over and was terrible! They wouldn't have had a chance without Beck. Did you watch the game??

[@CodyAkins]

We could have used beck in the notre dame game for sure gunner wasnt setting the protections at the line and a lot of times he either didnt let it rip soon enough or when he had time he didnt let it develope and his release is a whole second slower than becks and those things will come with more experience but if we have beck this game plays out different because our guys for once was getting seperation and being open and they always seem to start catching it better as the game goes along

[@CodyAkins]

I think gunner will be a jake fromm maybe a little better but hes not gonna be a qb that is good enough to make up for talent deficiencies around him so if hes gonna be qb 1 which hes gonna be doesnt excite me for next year not saying he sucks or isnt good and hopefully will get the job done kirby is gonna have to really hit the portal and put some talent around him on offense

[@nathanmcdonald5550]

Gunner holds all the GA high-school QB records over some great and guys who are still in NFL. If Monken would've stayed Gunner would've started last year over Beck. Kirby was going to start Beck over Stetson and Monken said no Stetson gives us the best chance. Your film shows ND block our player in the back twice on that kickoff return

[@bradsellers4813]

I’m not doubting he killed in HS but it was also Single A

[@yeek11]

He played a fine ballgame, I think gunner has the it factor for the dawgs at qb and he will only improve. No reason to go in the portal. Go Dawgs.

[@ElleYeah13]

ND fan here. Stockton has a rocket for an arm & throws a beautiful ball. He most def didn’t choke. UGA is in great hands w/him at QB.

[@powerhoursec]

Y'all going to win it all?

[@sststr]

Stockton didn't single-handedly cause Georgia to lose, no. Notre Dame knew Stockton was a good runner and so created a defensive plan to stop the run specifically to try to force him to throw. Which he can do, but that doesn't just hamper Stockton running, it hampers all our running backs. But if Beck had been the starting QB, ND would have had a different defensive plan to try to stop the passing game and force us to run more. How that game would have played out, who knows, but they wouldn't have used the same defense against a very different style of QB, so you can't pin the lose on just the QB alone. Especially, you have to consider the other side of the ball - ten points could be enough to win a game if your defense is stout enough, but Georgia's defense was not that stout. They had some good play, but clearly not enough good play. At the end of the day, Notre Dame was just better, both offense and defense.

[@autonomouspilgrimage6137]

Bro what?? Defense played pretty well….take away the kick return and the fumble in the red zone at the end of the half and Georgia is up 10-9

[@brandonstock2042]

That kid can throw darts, can't deny it

[@Bsmoove529]

Stockton qb1 2025

[@HenryDionne-rq8hl]

I like Gunner, but he never pushed Beck or Vandagriff. But we have heard that Puglisi was impressing the veterans even last year.

[@Nopem6734]

Favorite part was when you called Xavier Watts "this guy". Sec is going down the toilet and everyone loves it because of things like this. It's SEc or nothing for you losers

[@powerhoursec]

What?

[@tomdemay6147]

@@powerhoursec it was the pass to Smith. you said "you would like to think he (Smith) could juke this guy (Watts)". "This Guy" Xavier Watts is a back to back 1st team consensus All American and won Defensive Player of The Year last season. Watts deserve a little more respect not just to know his name but to respect his game. He's not a player that just gets easily juked out on the sidelines.

[@Branden-tr9lh]

I wish Kirby would use the first game or two in 2025 to try all three qbs in game and lets see how they work

[@makesmartTROYces]

I think he played very well this game, Carson would have 100000000% thrown a pick this game, no doubt in my mind. The very first play you showed would have been impossible with Caroson, Carson kept those only on 3 plays this year, there's a reason for that. Nobody is in the portal anyway, any of the Qb's we targeted early left.

[@powerhoursec]

Hey Troy! Would you take Beck back?

[@makesmartTROYces]

@powerhoursec Sorry for the late response but sure, for competition sake. I don't think he's a better QB than Gunner will be by next seasons end when Gunner has his confidence in him, I would've taken him back

[@dave4708]

Where are going to find a QB in the portal that has that kind of accuracy. Pocket presence is fixable. I would go with Gunner, but that’s coach Smart’s call.

[@jayteerogers2829]

It called choke wasn't even there in the 4th he was long gone

[@WallyMerc06]

Kirby's father and hero was dying in the hospital, add the terror attack on top of that and yeah he definitely wasn't at his peak that night. Still a gutsy performance with your back up qb's first start.

[@flyingirish31]

Beck would have done worse. The fact he was a true dual threat made him effective. That Cash TD particularly wouldn’t have happened with Beck. No spy.

[@Wolfhaley95]

It's Absurd that you would even suggest this was on Gunner dude makes his 1st official start for 250 yards and should of had more with the Dillion Bell Drop. You also did show every play where 57# was getting man handled no just in pass protection but in Run protection as well. If your running backs are only getting 2 yards a carry and your O line is struggling what is he supposed to do better? Honestly I'm shocked he threw for 250 yards considering he was running for his life all night

[@brandonstock2042]

I feel like he ripped some big throws his arm flashes better than Beck to me...With this type of experience he's only going to get better I say play the kid no portal needed.....poor guy got a baptism by fire he DID NOT loose this game though

[@JBeck9932]

Serve up 14 points on a platter to a good team, you lose. The entire gameplay would've ended Georgia winning 10-9 but the mistakes were made, plays made and that was the difference

[@jayteerogers2829]

The day that Georgia has an offensive line is the day Georgia has a good high school offense. Couldn't beat Georgia southern 10 out of 10

[@powerhoursec]

The turnovers were killer, especially the fumble at the end of the first half

[@MrConductorman3]

Gunner was strong and played pretty danged good. Everybody else around him was not good; especially, his OL.

[@jltcdm369]

First career start and it's in a playoff game with bad receivers and a wishy washy o-line. He showed poise and that he'd take a hit to drop a dime. I'm ok with Gunner but he will have to beat out Puglisi

[@ecc5119]

It doesn’t matter for QB next year, Kirby will play the wrong guy.

[@MaymeBlue-tz8qw]

This was ND last season going in transfer portal for QB

[@duanemoore7693]

He needs receivers and blockers

[@dannyhayes664]

UGA doesn't have a run game. QB holds the ball way too long. Blocking and tackling win games.

[@thomasuga5708]

you had alot of good things to say about him. yet you think we should go to the portal? can you explain why so we can properly dispute? i feel like its a coordinator problem bobo is the worst OC kirby coudlve picked... they have had no synchrony at all since they hired him back. its not just the qb position but everywhere. seems like players are not being developed properly

[@Irishhaf]

Beck wouldnt have mattered, the oline couldnt block a soul.

[@jayteerogers2829]

Gunner will never be a starter. Needs to be 3rd string or more

[@HotDawgSports]

Gunner is QB1 stop the click bait

[@jayteerogers2829]

Wanna bet he want be a starter

[@jayteerogers2829]

He is good as Bobo right. Mark Richt proteshey

[@HotDawgSports]

@jayteerogers2829yup

[@LeekScotty]

ND bullied him 20-32 weeks ago over hyped him

[@h4l414]

Team just wasnt as focused as usual. Left tackle sucked, kick coverage sucked, fumbles sucked.

[@h4l414]

This video is a choke job.
